Activating transcription factor 2, also known as ATF2, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ATF2 gene.[5]

Function

This gene encodes a

c-Jun. The protein is also a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that specifically acetylates histones H2B and H4 in vitro; thus, it may represent a class of sequence-specific factors that activate transcription by direct effects on chromatin components. Additional transcript variants have been identified but their biological validity has not been determined.[5]

The gene atf2 is located at human chromosome 2q32.

JNK.[8] ATF-2 phosphorylation in response to treatment of cells with tumor promoter phorbol ester has been demonstrated.[9]

Several studies implicate abnormal activation of ATF-2 in growth and progression of mammalian skin tumors.

and regulate maintenance of the aggressive cancer phenotype of some types of epithelial cells.

ATF2 has also been shown to be

Mice with mutations of these two serines are sensitive to irradiation and easier to tumorigenesis under p53 knockout background.
